Right.. I suggest everyone goes and times how long it takes a levle 1 khol to kill every type of pirate foundin a starsystem. Then go time how long it takes a level 1 Progeniator to do the same. Then tell me WHICH is spose to be the warship and WHICH is spose to be the colonly ship.
scouts dont counter lrms I tried it and got slaughtered my scouts were getting poped. on the otherhand laserfrigates dont seem to do that badly agasint them as long as they dont get critical numbers.. problem beig for TEC its 5 pop to counter a 4pop lrm The real problem is the damage they do to capital ships and the tiny ammount of damage capitalships do to them. Just boost the damage caps do to flak/lrm frigates
ironcily I dont like fast starts in CIV... the starting build orders in CIV vastly effected how well you did and I generaly have better starts then most... On the otherhand it was annoying when someone wouldnt click end turn for the first 30 turns ;P in SINS I cant see anything that it does... the above post... by the time you RUSH the enemy they normaly have scouts know your comming and can have more ships there then you have strung out over systems comming to reinforce while
you people seem to think that the 3 mins extractors take to build wont speed up the game.. Giving you extractors doesnt just save you 3 mintues it increaes the whole speed at which you can explore colonise and attack. and if it doesnt do a darn thing.. why not include it? the game is spose to be agasint micro yet at the start of game you have to hurry to micro and sometimes your builders are on the otherside of the system and they dont move that fast.. othertimes they
Sam Skinner You do know that specific metals and alloys when polished have a large reflective spectrum, a ordinary mirror these days is 98% on the visable. also highpowered lasers are by default not effective agasint metal. Metal acts as ablative armor and evaporates taking the energy from the laser and creating a gas cloud which defuses the rest of the incomming beam. What they have found is, that a very highpowered laserbeam which a short fire time, where ta
If your been online almost no one is around, and its rather depressing when you want a game, a big cause of this I think is how slow the game is to get going which leads to extremly long games. I cant see any viable strats that DONT have you build extractors off the bat(If anyone has any please put them forward) So the way I see it, home systems should have extractors prebuilt and if any worries over balance then just take the cash it would have cost from the start pool. Ano
GoJoe2400 1.A sova carrier with upgraded bombers can kill 2 flaks with them without losing a squad. People say the armor upgrade sucks, but when 3 sova carriers can force the enemy to build 20 flak just to destroy your bombers I would say there worth it. 2.opions was ment to be options. 3.He didnt have any fighter squads at all, so whats worse is he was either a nob or had recalled them when he was fighting pirates and forget to relaunch. Lets li
your basing balance on the macro level.. lets base it on opions. getting 2 cap ships early game is no small feat, your saying it should fail outright agasint a specific capship build without it needing any support whatsoever?. well sure, one less build. Lets all just spam ravishers LRMS and Illums becasue everything else loses to them.
This ability acts a capitalship killer and phase inhibitor, capital ships being attacked by it cant recover due to there slow turning and acceleration speeds quick enough to move anywhere before being hit by it again and again and again and again and again. It also stops them phasing out of system if you want to retreat. Or if you want to use any specil abilites like ironbolt to disable a guardian casting it they cant turn and aim before there hit again. Then lets add the bloody
Using your logic for balance. lets ask a question. should a support ability that is FLEET orinitated defeat abilities that are target specific and do so outnumbered by those abilities 2-1 Missile batteries and bombers are designed for KILLING indervidual targets. the Shield restore is surposed to help a fleet.
I dont have a problem with any of the voices, the Marza dreadnaught just sounds like he smokes alot. The Khol is the best in my opinion. "times of war are upon us" He sounds weary and worn out yet steadfast. people saying there to manly? lol WTF? How can something be TO MANLY, its massive war TEC have there humans doing two things. Breeding(the females) Fighting(the males) I would like to see capships staonied in a colony planet gravit
well obviously im incorrect despite the fact its easily checkable by everyone.... and hey Even if we look at it the other way of course 1 support cruiser should be capable of defeating 2 support cruisers wait...............
there are dog braincells in a petry dish hooked up to a computer and taught to play quake like game(might even have been quake) There also grown mise or rat braincells and are attempting to turn them into guide systems for missiles. Aint humans nice!
actually Runomoro sova with 3 bombers outdamages a khol. Sova with missile battery outdamages marza. that 375 shield heal is turned into a 800 shield heal due to damage mitigation ramp. Lets not even take into account that Capital ship battles untill mass missile frigates are spammed take up to 5 mintues. Sova aint support ships they are by far the most powerful COMBAT ships damage wise untill level 6 abilities kick in. Unlike other races they get dam
the patch is done. There just being evil and not providing it because its just so awesomely fun to play online, and they want to make sure they can crush us all in mutiplayer when they do release it :)
I dont think caps should really be stronger in general(just the combat centers caps are currently at a disadvantage in any battle because they get focused fired to death and they dont have much more hitpoints then specialist caps which can stay out of battle and still be effective. Maybe make them the speed of normal ships.. after all they are front line assault ships so one would assume there got speed to spare.. chasing down specislist caps etc
I disgree in part, I dont think the total limit for cap ships should be increased, I think the cost of both cap ships and capital ship research should be reduced. I would also like the upgrades to be standard +2 cap ships an upgrade rather then 1 1 2 4 6 or howevfer it currently goes. fact is currently max no cap carrier group and blow apart any cap ship fleet even carrier caps. I think main battleship and planet assault caps should get range increase per level up
I just had a mutiplayer game I had 2 sova one with 3 bomber squad and the other with 4 agasint a level 5 Progenitor. I had strikecraft armor and missile batteries. I had first tier laser armor and health upgrades. He didnt seem to have any. I had to withdraw a Sova without the Progenitor having taken any hull damage, it kept restoreing its shields. Despite up to 6 missile batteries 2 sova class carriers and 7 bombers hitting it it took one of my ships down from
Its the darn speed of online play. The resource caps need to be droped and the cost of capital ships droped from say 3000 to 2000. games just TAKE so long and planet defences are far cheaper easier to get and stronger then majority of ships and it turns into turtle wars. Each race should have a military research that increases speed of ships by 10% each research to a max of 3. Also colonizing worlds colonly ships end up waiting around for 2-3 mins ea
SpacePony I aint a kid, your the guy who for some reason thought I was 18? :P Of course its made up, the evidence is overwhelming. I will add one thing. Under United Nations law The US citizins(every UN country actually) are required to take affrimative action agasint there govement if it attempts or is involved in a list of offences which include agressive war, cival and human rights, torture and abuse. As it was signed by the US President at the time
The most effective form of torture currently is tasers
Small correction.... military might DOES work... But only in cases where the entire native population is put to the sword.
People IN iraq have a lower quality of life since the invasion then before. The majority of damage and problems resulting in the lower quality of life were and currently are being casued by the occupying forces. Same thing in Afganastan. You cannot take over a population through might. History Teaches this thousands of times. But the US attempts it over and over again. The only way to take over another country is through cultrual superioty.<b
I am sick of people that dont know what they are talking about stating "fact" In this case arguing with historical documents and President comments of the time. US doesnt commit warcrimes? http://deoxy.org/wc/warcrime.htm US Doesnt commit warcrimes? Why did bush pardon himself over any warcrimes he may have helped commit or ordered during his tenue as President? US doesnt commit warcrimes on a regular basis or intend to? http://www.guardi
Mistralok I just read your post then. You do know the US used them on Iraq Soldiers in the second gulf war? Infact they have developed "city Killers" Which produce an overpressure wave sufficent to destroy even earthquake and cyclone reinforced structures.
